Chapter 21

  Since the day Niya started training, she has witnessed injuries that were pretty bad. She has seen wounded warriors and visions of savagery very recently. All those memories, all the incidents combined could not have prepared her for this. Who could have thought that the prized prince of BloodBane, perfect in every way, was hiding such a ghastly wound on his back? The long cut starts under his right shoulder blade and runs down diagonally to the lower back, a clean cut made in an attempt to slice his body in half. No one can survive this! How is he even alive? This is not even the real wound, it is just an echo of the actual scar. She tries but fails to imagine the ferocity of the real wound and how he claimed life despite that.
